Neural Progenitor Cells (NPC)

Human iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells offer a reliable, scalable model for early neurodevelopment, enabling consistent differentiation into neurons and glia for disease research and drug testing.

Description

Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are multipotent, lineage-committed cells capable of generating diverse neuronal and glial populations, making them a foundational tool for studying human brain development and disease. iPSC-derived NPCs offer a reproducible, scalable, and ethically sourced model that captures early neurodevelopmental processes, including proliferation, migration, and lineage specification. Their reliability and versatility make NPCs ideal for applications such as neurotoxicity testing, disease modeling, drug screening, and the generation of downstream neural cell types for more complex 3D systems like spheroids and organoids. With consistent marker expression, stable growth characteristics, and high differentiation potential, neural progenitor cells provide researchers with a powerful platform for exploring mechanisms of neurological disorders and advancing translational neuroscience.

NeuraCell provides custom NPCs patterned to striatum (medium spiny neurons) or to other brain regions.
